    Starting to lose hope :(

    They're Japanese quails and it's 1:4. For some reason they've stopped laying completely again, I have no idea what I'm doing wrong? I've given them vitamins, they have nest boxes, there's plenty of sawdust on the ground, I just don't get it, they used to lay all the time and now they've suddenly...

    Starting to lose hope :(

    So I bought some new hens because for some reason, the hens I had before had completely stopped laying despite the cock still going at it. These new hens have been laying eggs but it doesn't seem that they are fertile. The cock is usually really randy and is at it quite often but I haven't seen...

    At what age you recommend selling quails?

    I don't mind the crowing, I have a couple of cocks that crow every so often. I thought 6 weeks was ok but that's when they're fully feathered and ready to breed, I didn't think they would be less valuable as they grow up. I sell mine for £3 each.

    At what age you recommend selling quails?

    I'm going to sell them at 6 weeks to ensure they're fully feathered, that's probably the best age for my piece of mind. Thank you all for the advice

    At what age you recommend selling quails?

    Now I've started breeding quails, I have to start selling some. At what age do you recommend selling them? I don't want them to be too young, I was thinking about 6 weeks?

    Quail Japanese chick gone limp?

    The poor little thing died in the end, it was such a shame considering it was fine just minutes before. Thank you for the advice, I'll get some vitamin supplements for them

    White Japanese Quails

    I bought a new set of quails the other day because for some reason, my hens had stopped laying. The new set I bought are pure white Japanese quails. I had never seen them before so I was so happy that the guy sold them to me. They're laying too so I hope the chicks they produce are also white...

    all who are hatching quail

    I breed Japanese quails, just recently started breeding white ones so I hope the chicks turn out to be white too. I had 3 little chick hatch the other day, they're adorable, should be expecting some more in a weeks time. Enjoy your quail breeding

    Quail Japanese chick gone limp?

    One of my little quail chicks who's a week old just went limp. One minute he was running around with the other little chicks (there are 2 others with him) and then he fell on his back and started doing these weird movements with his neck? We took him out, gave him a bit of water via a syringe...

    My Japanese quails have stopped laying!

    Thank you, originally, we bought 1 to 3 but I'm going to get a new breeding set with 1 to 4 ratio and will hopefully be more successful in breeding. Thank you all for the advice, I really appreciate it

    My Japanese quails have stopped laying!

    It was 1 to 3 but now it's 1 to 2 but will be getting a new breeding set that will be 1 to 4 so hopefully that will be more successful. Thanks for the advice

    My Japanese quails have stopped laying!

    I've been breeding my quails for a few months now and I've always had great results, my incubator was always full of eggs and had so many little chicks. However lately, they're not laying so much anymore and most of the eggs they do lay are duds. We're getting another breeding set some time next...

    Buying leg rings for my quail chicks

    Ok then, I'll have a look. Thanks for the advice that's what I need to do, differentiate the ages and the genders. Aww I bet those horses look pretty with braids :)

    Buying leg rings for my quail chicks

    Ok then, where do you buy yours from? I've seen quite a few on eBay, the plastic clip ones but I heard the rubber ones were really good but couldn't find any.

    Buying leg rings for my quail chicks

    Size 4? How many mm's is that? I've been looking on the internet and I think they're about 8mm for quails so I've ordered some of those and I will find out for myself when they arrive so I will update and tell you the right size
